WEDDING WALK TACOMA 2013

Bridal shows aren't what they used to be, Wedding Walk Your City is different! Rather than sending bridal couples up and down isles and isles of vendors sitting at tables, Wedding Walk Your City chooses a number of venues (in select cities), and within each venue an event planner presents their talents by decorating the space using other fabulous vendors, i.e. linen rentals, florists, caterers, cake designers, musicians, photographers, and yes... stationery designers like me!

Above are photos from Wedding Walk Port Orchard that I participated in last winter. The bridal couples experienced the design talents of Gina Lillie, A Greater Plan Events & Consulting  at Gold Mountain Golf Club. I designed a wedding stationery suite that included: Save The Dates, Wedding Invitations, Ceremony Programs, Escort Cards, Place Cards, Table Numbers, Menus, Signature Cocktail Sign and, well, I think that covers it!

It's a wonderful concept and must-see event for bridal couples and business people alike. If you know a couple that's getting married or a business professional that plans a lot of corporate events in the Seattle/Tacoma area... please, please, please tell them about this incredible opportunity to network with local professionals and see for themselves the amazing talent in one fun-filled afternoon.

DESTINATION WEDDING STATIONERY

I loved working with Cheryl on her destination {Hawaii} wedding. She already had her invitations done and needed wedding day stationery to compliment them. We met over coffee, which is a major perk to my work, and came up with a list of items. We ended the meeting with eight items: welcome bag tags, water bottle labels, snack bag tags, ceremony programs, place cards, custom napkins, menus and round favor tags (for cookie boxes). Everything is pictured below.

I used her colors in various ways. White paper, pink graphics, gold eyelets and elastic cord, and natural raffia. Everything came together beautifully and she was all smiles when she received her bag of goodies.

I love a well branded wedding... begin with custom Save the Dates, follow with designer Invitations and finish with whatever Wedding Day Stationery items you want/need.

S'MORES AND MORE

As September 29th draws near, the production studio has been buzzing with the sound of printing and cutting of various stationery pieces for Nichelle and Reed's wedding. Look at these adorable s'mores wedding favors. If I were to renew my vows with a celebration to follow... I would, with no doubt, do these as favors!

In addition to the s'mores wedding favor tags, you can see below the reserved table signs for certain tables, custom napkins I designed and ordered for Nichelle, slender dinner menus for each place setting, and finally... the 'sweet love' bag sticker for her 'candy bar'.

And just for fun I thought I'd share a little behind-the-scenes look at how I set up my print files. I try to get the most out of a sheet of paper. In this case you can see just how much cutting needs to be done for each item. No large hydraulic cutters here... just me and my manual Fiskar Rotary Cutter.

We have a few more items to complete for this wedding... ceremony programs, table numbers and thank you notes! It won't be long now, check back soon!
